The six-step StratMFG Process

STEP #1

Identify key business drivers to focus your effort where it will make the strongest impact

We begin by using our proprietary Mixed Mode Demand Model to ensure that you create a high-impact commerce capability for every type of demand—standard, configured, or engineered products and services. We’ll identify key market and customer factors and document your demand mix by product channel, surfacing demand patterns and strategic business imperatives. You’ll move forward with a clear focus on what’s most important in to your markets, channels, and customer base.

Before you invest, you need to know how you stack up against the best in your industry. Our proprietary benchmarking model identifies gaps in your process, data, and systems versus industry best practices in 350+ functional areas. We cover every customer engagement and product lifecycle function from the earliest identification of prospects through the entire sales, service, and support lifecycle. We synthesize results into a simple graphical map showing your most significant improvement opportunities and the best practices required to meet them.

Next, we will set the stage for a successful outcome by sharpening our focus on your most critical needs and defining areas of focus with the highest potential to yield results. This is a critical moment to avoid ‘feature-shopping’ that fails to address key needs and diverts attention away from more important customer and ROI factors. You’ll come away with a clear set of objectives and a comprehensive organizational approach to reach them, broken down into attainable short-, medium-, and long-term projects .

In this step, we apply fact-based economic reasoning to measure and evaluate your strategic alternatives based on their total business impact and your ability to realize them. We closely examine cost, risk, and organizational factors to plot strategy and shape programs that drive maximum ROI. This ensures that business needs are economically addressed to close identified gaps and steers you away from risky solutions that don’t stand up to the real economics of change.

STEP #4

Inform your decision-making with sound economic analysis

STEP #5

Build an actionable, time-phased roadmap to success

The final stage of our strategic process propels you into action with a plan to initiate your program and launch your first projects, with major steps defined by phase and project. Bringing together all key decision points and outcomes from the previous steps, we ensure you’re ready to launch on the journey toward realization—with all key governance, methodology, vendor, and resource factors defined to succeed at every step along the way.
